Wallpaper - Brushscape East

Our Brushscape East wallpaper, created by Chris Paschke, brings sweeping calligraphic brushwork and layered ink washes into a calm, abstract wall mural. The design balances broad, textural horizontal strokes with fluid watercolor-like gradients in smoky charcoal, earthy taupe, and soft off-white. What we particularly like is the sense of open space and organic balance, giving the motif a quiet, contemplative character inspired by wabi-sabi aesthetics. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle paper structure, it offers an expressive yet grounded focal point for modern interiors.

In the room

Because Brushscape East carries strong horizontal movement and broad, expressive strokes, we see this working exceptionally well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa allows the sweeping strokes to stretch across the room without being cut off by tall furniture.

The design also lends itself naturally to a quiet home office or dedicated meditation room. The fluid gradients and smoky gray tones create an enveloping, tranquil atmosphere where the artwork can be appreciated from sitting height. In spaces with generous daylight, the delicate transitions between earthy taupe and deep charcoal become especially noticeable, while softer ambient lighting in the evening brings out the moodier, atmospheric quality of the darker washes.

Styling it

To complement the wabi-sabi character and calligraphic nature of the artwork, we would lean towards minimalist and contemporary interiors that embrace clean lines and natural materials.

We would pair this design with low-slung furniture in dark-stained or natural oak, keeping silhouettes simple and grounded. Low credenzas, platform beds, or streamlined desks allow the full horizontal sweep of the brushwork to remain the visual anchor. For surrounding textiles, heavy textured weaves, unbleached cotton, or raw-edged fabrics in stone or muted sand echo the organic, unhurried feel of the print without competing with its movement.

Colour combinations

The palette within Brushscape East is built on a foundation of smoky gray, deep charcoal ink, soft off-white, and warm earthy undertones.

When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend continuing that soft, tonal harmony. A muted limestone or chalky off-white will pick up the lighter unpainted passages of the composition and keep the room open. If you prefer a moodier, more cocooning interior, deep charcoal or warm slate on trim and adjoining walls will seamlessly integrate the darker pigment bands of the mural.
